subject: The Secret Of What Causes Eczema Revealed [print this page] So, let's take a look at what causes eczema in the first place. Officially, the cause of eczema is "not known", and the medical community only focus on external triggers which in reality has nothing to do with the underlying cause.
Triggers of eczema can be anything from chemicals to insect bites, and also clothing or even climate conditions. But what triggers eczema is not equal to what actually causes eczema to appear.
So, what causes eczema if triggers is not it? Eczema is caused by poor and slow digestion. This condition will often start out early in life, as you are exposed to the unhealthy food and terrible food combinations of the westernized diet.
Different people will adjust differently to this diet, and that's also the reason why some people will typically "grow out of" their problem. That being said, the digestive problems can also become worse as you grow older.
When digestion is slow and constipated the food will harden in the digestive tract as water is extracted from it. This again will cause even slower digestion, and you have a vicious spiral going. As the hardened food is forced along its way, it will literally grind down the protective mucus lining of the digestive tract and the colon.
The result is weak, sore, and inflamed mucus membranes which lacks the ability to protect the body from all the toxic waste that runs through the digestive system every day. This means that a significant amount of toxins will actually be re-absorbed right back into the bloodstream.
Naturally, this excessive and constant load of toxins that is re-absorbed into the bloodstream causes a lot of trouble for the body. It has to get rid of it as fast and effective as possible. Something has to give, and that will be the skin. It expels the overload of toxins through the pores via the sweat.
Eczema symptoms appear as a result of an overload of toxins being expelled via the sweat and the skin. That is also the reason why eczema will often resemble a chemical burn. It actually is a chemical burn. The overload of toxins that are expelled through the skin will burn away the layers of the skin in the process.
The characteristic itch that goes along with most eczema is a result of all the toxins causing the sensitive nerves to be irritated as the body expels them via the skin. It's not unusual to observe small blisters filled with toxins appearing right before an eczema outbreak.
That is also why the itch seems to be a bit deeper than the surface of the skin. It's like its really itching from inside the skin, and it can be almost impossible to withstand the urge to scratch. Often the skin will break apart and become oozing and red if you scratch.
